Re: Saints Sign Jimmy Graham to one year deal
 

Great teams often sign aging veterans to short term contracts with a specific specialty role in mind. I suspect that role for Graham is a red zone specialist. Awesome signing if he has anything left in the tank!

Let’s not forget we also added the guy who ran for 17 TDs last season. Our Red Zone scoring has to go up (if we stay healthy).

Interesting take from Ross Jackson about how signing Graham may impact Taysom.

Ross know the Saints and breaks them down very well. He needs to cut his finger nails though.:rolleyes:

Lol! Funny **** Rugs.

I guess I'm seeing this as a sort of nostalgia signing. I'm not very confident he has much value, even as a Red Zone option. If he is, he hasn't shown it only averaging 4-5 TD's in 5 seasons in his previous stints with decent QB's (Wilson and Rodgers). I curious to see what he still has left in the tank, but I'm not holding out much hope.

Probably so, but even 4 TDs would have put him in second place on the team for TD receptions las year.

Re: Saints Sign Jimmy Graham to one year deal
 

Understood. But JJ put up 7 TD's with Dalton under center. Not Wilson or Rodgers. Like I said, I want to see what's left in the tank. Just not getting my expectations up over the Prodigal Son coming back after 7+ years as a essentially being a journeyman TE. We'll see.

I just wonder why SP didn't bring him in with the Broncos. He's been on a tear with former Saints, even coaches.

Re: Saints Sign Jimmy Graham to one year deal
 

Agreed. I don’t expect the Jimmy of Old.
